Description
Post-match press conference with retiring England captain Ben Stokes after England’s 160-run defeat to New Zealand at Trent Bridge in the third Rothesay Test.
New Zealand made 438 and 288-9 declared, with England bowled out for 354 and 212 as the tourists sealed the series 2-1. Devon Conway and Tom Latham both made first-innings centuries, before Daryl Mitchell’s unbeaten second-innings hundred helped set England 373 to win.
Stokes reflects on his final England appearance, his legacy, the pressure of captaincy, his love for cricket, why he opened in the run chase, Harry Brook as a possible successor, and the future of England under Brendon McCullum and Rob Key.
